Product details
Overview
SN74ABT245BDW from Texas Instruments is an octal bus transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for asynchronous bidirectional data transfer between A and B buses in 5-V TTL systems. It features high-drive capability (−32 mA IOH, 64 mA IOL), hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and operates across −40°C to 85°C. Used in industrial backplane interfaces, memory expansion modules, and legacy system bus bridging.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT245BDW datasheet, SN74ABT245BDW pinout, SN74ABT245BDW application, or SN74ABT245BDW equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC-20 package thermal resistance (58°C/W), guaranteed 3.2 ns max tPHL at 5 V, ±100 µA Ioff at VCC = 0 V, and compatibility with 5-V TTL logic families in mixed-voltage board designs.
Technical Context
This device implements dual-directional 8-bit data flow controlled by DIR (direction) and OE (output enable) inputs, enabling either A→B or B→A transmission while isolating buses when OE is high. Its output structure supports true 3-state operation during power-up/down sequences without external pull-ups.
The SN74ABT245BDW uses ABT-series bipolar transistor technology to achieve low ground bounce (<1 V VOLP), latch-up immunity (>500 mA per JESD 17), and ESD robustness (2000-V HBM, 200-V MM). All inputs tolerate 0–5.5 V, and outputs are specified for VO up to 5.5 V in high-impedance or powered-off states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard 5-V supply tolerances in industrial environments. |
| IOH / IOL | −32 mA / 64 mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long PCB traces or multiple TTL inputs) without signal degradation. |
| tPHL / tPLH | 1 ns min / 3.9 ns max - enables reliable 100+ MHz bus switching in synchronous control applications. |
| Ioff | ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging backflow current during hot-swap or partial-power-down scenarios. |
| VOL / VOH | 0.55 V max at IOL = 64 mA / 2.0 V min at IOH = −32 mA - meets TTL input thresholds under full load conditions. |
| θJA | 58°C/W (SOIC-DW) - defines thermal derating limits for continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to 85°C. |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114/A115 requirements for board-level handling robustness. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ABT245BDW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body size, 1.75 mm max height, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1, 260°C peak reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | A1–A8 Inputs/Outputs | Port A bidirectional data lines; driven by internal transistors when enabled and DIR set appropriately. |
| 9 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers. |
| 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 | B1–B8 Inputs/Outputs | Port B bidirectional data lines; electrically isolated from A port when OE is high. |
| 18 | VCC | 5-V supply input; powers all logic and output stages; bypass capacitor required near pin. |
| 19 | DIR | Direction control: low = B→A, high = A→B; TTL-compatible threshold (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V). |
| 20 | OE | Output enable: low = active, high = 3-state isolation; includes power-up 3-state circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent current backflow and bus contention during live board insertion. |
| High-drive outputs | −32 mA sink / 64 mA source capability maintains signal integrity driving 10+ TTL loads or 50 pF trace capacitance. |
| Low ground bounce | <1 V VOLP at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - reduces noise coupling into adjacent analog or clock circuits. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD17 - ensures survivability under transient overcurrent events. |
| Wide input voltage range | VI = 0 to 5.5 V on all pins - allows interfacing with mixed-supply systems without level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC245A | 3.3-V only operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (−24/24 mA), CMOS process. | Not suitable for 5-V TTL systems; requires level translation if interfacing with legacy 5-V peripherals. | Select when migrating to 3.3-V domains with lower power budgets and no 5-V compatibility requirement. |
| SN74ABT244BDW | Octal buffer (unidirectional), same ABT family, identical SOIC-20 package and pinout except DIR removed. | Cannot perform bidirectional A↔B data transfer; used where direction is fixed or externally controlled. | Choose when system architecture uses dedicated upstream/downstream paths instead of shared bidirectional bus. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SN74ABT245BDW?
The SN74ABT245BDW is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures reliability in factory automation, motor control, and outdoor instrumentation applications where thermal extremes are common. The SOIC-DW package's 58°C/W thermal resistance supports continuous operation within this envelope when proper PCB copper area and airflow are maintained.
Does the SN74ABT245BDW support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the SN74ABT245BDW supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V (limiting backflow current to ±100 µA), and power-up 3-state holds outputs high-impedance during power ramp-up. These functions eliminate bus contention and prevent damage when inserting or removing boards while system power remains active-critical for modular PLC and ATE systems.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for VCC and input voltage on the SN74ABT245BDW?
The SN74ABT245BDW has an absolute maximum VCC rating of −0.5 V to +7 V and input voltage (VI) rating of −0.5 V to +7 V on all pins. However, recommended operation is limited to VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and VI = 0–VCC. Exceeding these ranges-even briefly-risks permanent damage, especially beyond the 5.5-V upper limit for sustained 5-V TTL system use.
How does the DIR pin control data flow direction in the SN74ABT245BDW?
The DIR pin determines data direction: when DIR = low, data flows from B bus to A bus; when DIR = high, data flows from A bus to B bus. This TTL-compatible control (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) enables simple microcontroller GPIO or FPGA pin assignment. Direction changes occur synchronously with OE activation-no setup/hold timing constraints apply between DIR and data transitions.
Can the SN74ABT245BDW be used in mixed-voltage systems with 3.3-V logic?
The SN74ABT245BDW is not recommended for direct connection to 3.3-V logic without level translation. Its inputs accept 0–5.5 V, but outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC ≈ 5 V), exceeding 3.3-V I/O tolerances. For mixed-voltage designs, use discrete resistive dividers on outputs or pair with a dedicated level shifter like TXS0108E-never rely on internal clamping or undefined behavior outside its 4.5–5.5 V VCC specification.
